Otra Tormenta en la DistanZIHa

Last night's storm to our southeast turned out to be another dud, another tease, another letdown. ¡Tamos saláo!

Thursday morning was bright and sunny. Not hardly a cloud in the sky. But the humidity continues. And it built up again today along with the clouds, though it still hasn't rained for about 2 weeks since Hurricane Simon. The outer bands of Tropical Storm Vance have arrived, and there's a decent chance of rain this evening and a higher chance of rain this Friday. We certainly need it. This storm could bring the last rains we receive this year. We can expect some wind gusts over 40 km/h this weekend as well as some large swells and possibly more flooding from another storm surge. Vance is expected to be a Cat 2 hurricane when it passes closest to our port. If you're here or planning on being here, I urge you to keep an eye on our local weather.

Lupita and I were both lamenting today the Disneyfication of Día de Muertos here. For us, like for many local families, it's a very solemn and sad commemoration of the lives of people we've loved and lost. We'll go to the places where we've buried family members or saved their ashes and remember them. But it's a painful time for us. Not a reason to get drunk, have parades, wear costumes, have parties, and generally turn it into some kind of perverse caricature of Halloween. But alcohol vendors and merchandisers use any excuse to push their wares, and our local politicians seek popularity and legitimacy while they enrich themselves. So please excuse us if we don't share the "party" mood with you. While I post the local events here on my website, I don't necessarily agree with them. The only part that is local culture are the altars some families place along the waterfront or in the plazas where we share some of our personal life with friends, neighbors and visitors.

A favorite location for many visitors, Amor del Sol located overlooking Playa La Madera is an extremely comfortable and nicely appointed condominium that offers from 1 to 3 bedrooms (only pay for what you need!). The complex has a pool, but the ocean at La Madera is often calm enough for easy swimming. (click to enlarge photo)
